Facet thinks you're good. @Facet@chitter.xyz

Starting with the clear disclaimer that everyone experiences asexuality differently.

For me, I've always been super open and interested in my kinks. Spoilers, it's mostly TF, and things it's a gateway into, but not exclusively. I just, don't go for sex as an endpoint for engaging them. I'm still attracted to people, and I'm not repulsed by sex at all, I just don't feel any desire to have it. (Also I don't really find genitals appealing.)

Tail: Raccoon tails are not actually that big or useful. Thus, having a high tail stat means defiance of natural tendency for the sake of expressiveness. The furryness stat.

Soft: How soft and cuddly you are. Raccoons are actually quite affectionate around those they're comfortable with, so being good and comfy to nuzzle into is paramount.

Thievery: One's ability to make off with things, whether by stealth, cuteness, surprise, or the general weirdness of a raccoon encounter.

Washing: One's ability to clean things with one's weird little hands.

Chittering: One's propensity to make cute little animal sounds when happy.

Mask: Mysteriousness. The mask represents the unknowable, the mystical. The allure of the raccoon.

Hi. My name is Facet, and I'm a raccoon. I'm a little bit of a private person, but always willing to meet new people. I try to promote honest positivity whenever I can; I don't always succeed, but I try.

I'm a kinda-sorta game developer, and a Twitch streamer. I don't stream to make a brand or audience really, I just like fostering a relaxing space and enjoying games with people.

I am agender, asexual, and panromantic. 💜

#introduction
(Not actually missing an arm.)

I got a new phone the other day since the old one started bulging from its battery failing on me, and it's been... A journey. The most 'different' phone I've adjusted to in a long time.

Has a built in stylus though, which has been neat once I got it working properly. I enjoy them much more than using my fingertip, in general.

Still a couple things I'm having a hard time accepting about it though.

We aren't trying to push your point aside.

We aren't saying we don't care about the subject.

We aren't censoring you.

We've just been reading article after article of this stuff, the same as you.

We just don't want to have it forced in our face over and over when we get burnt out, when we're panicking, when we can't handle it at the moment.

It's a gesture of simple respect.

Please CW your posts. Even the important ones. Especially those ones.

But by now, what the heck has happened? We're throwing away that cornerstone of what Mastodon represents under some pretense that the most painful topics are ones that we should shove in peoples' faces the most.

It's fundamentally destructive, and people that do this are driving out people that had to flee here before them for their mental well-being, and making it just as toxic as the place they fled from.

Four years ago was when one of the first and biggest major Mastodon migrations happened. The cornerstone of that migration was the political tension around that time, the last election year, the threat of Trump rallies and what they represented for our future. People couldn't handle it, and Mastodon was there as a place that stuff could be separated, that the exasperated and scared migrants could willingly view only what they could muster.

Random friendly reminder that the more important, stressful, world-relevant, divisive, etc. something is, the more important it is for it to be properly CW'd. Not more important to eschew them for.

"Too important to CW" is birdsite talk. Mastodon is literally hecking founded on not forcing people to scroll through walls and walls of content they don't have the spoons for. It's just as important to the platform as its decentralization.

Another night of Racial Justice and Equality Bundle games! This could be the last night for Anarcute, but there are still plenty more where it came from!

I'll have to find a new longer-term game or two.

Time for more Racial Justice and Equality Bundle games! It's been a few days due to various roadblocks, but we're back!

We've still got more Anarcute and Vision: Soft Reset to do, but plenty of new games to show as well!

Well. I was taking a nap last night, with a specific thing to wake up for. I was awakened by the thing, then just... Didn't wake up, and wound up sleeping 10 hours.

Maybe I had more debt than I credited myself for.

Weh. My phone battery started bloating last night and now I effectively don't have one outside of major need for a while until I can get my hands on a new one.

It still *works*, I'm just not going to ever turn it on unless something really important comes up to use it for.

I think "gently" is one of my most used words.

Just say it a few times, you'll get used to it!

Racial justice and equality!

Even just racial justice is more than "that bundle"!

The cause is worth it! Say the words, a lot!

It's like, 6 words. I know that's more than "the bundle," but like, there should be some respect rigor here. You're getting hundreds of games per word of the title.

I guess this largely sticks out to me because I've never heard someone refer to the steam summer sale as "you know, *that* sale, with lots of games on it"

Why is it that this particular bundle is always called "that itch.io bundle" or "the really big itch.io bundle" and not like, respected by its name, which is the actually important part, and not that you can get a ton of hard-worked-on indies for basically nothing?

Do people care more about the fact they're getting lots of games than the cause? I'm sure some, but like, why not say the name, openly and proudly, a lot?

People say that you can wear the Familiar Wig, Shirt, and Pants to look like you originally did, but really it just turns you into a witch's pet.

Saying unprompted nice things to people is self care.

It's time for more Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality games! Up tonight: more Anarcute, more Vision: Soft Reset, more random stuff of all sorts!

Silly, serious, retro, peaceful, exciting, we've got it all! You know, basically!

I couldn't come up with an easy way to say "make this have the settings I want" so I just said "I settingsed it" and I think this works just fine.
